With this step; the company plans to penetrate, apart from the Tier 1 cities, in to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

Retail expansion across the east, west and south besides covering the metros features in the plans of the company, said CEO, Austenitic Creations PVT LTD, Anuj Jain, in a presentation meant to enlighten the journalists.
The company will now function with two brand divisions working hand in hand, Arttd'inox and "U". While Arttd'inox will continue as a steel accessories manufacturer, "U" will encourage Indian stuff like terracotta, bamboo and paper mesh.
Another change in business strategy is planned. "We are changing the business model of our existing brand arttd'inox from that of a direct retailer model to single point distribution model. This is done primarily to get more penetration and better market reach", said Mrs Jindal.

Drishti Launches Ameyo PACE - the Successor to Predictive Dialing
Drishti-Soft Launches Ameyo PACE - a breakthrough Innovation in Outbound Dialing Solutions. With a Claim of up to 30% Enhancement in Business Productivity, PACE Promises to be the Successor to your Predictive Dialer
Gurgaon, Haryana, India, Monday, May 31, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Ameyo PACE, Pro Active Connect Enhancer, is the latest innovation from Drishti Labs. It is a software module that works in conjunction with the Predictive Dialer and helps businesses to enhance the end results by adding intelligence to the overall process of outbound dialing. With PACE, the campaign manager can configure a smarter contact strategy based on various advanced parameters including customer segment and interaction history.
In today's cut-throat competition, campaign managers are challenged with ever-growing demand for higher productivity and adherence to stricter regulations & compliances. Even with latest tools and technology, there is still a lot of human dependency for customer contact management & decision making for day-to-day operations in a contact center.
As Nayan Jain, CTO, Drishti-Soft explains - "In our research, we found that there is a need for a tool to help contact centers configure and automate business policies and contact strategies. We focused our efforts into developing an innovative solution that addresses this need. Hence, PACE came into existence. With pluggable business intelligence, PACE would boost the productivity of contact center processes by up to 30%."
PACE acts as an assistant to the campaign managers and helps them define, configure and automate business specific processing of customer contacts. Besides, maximizing the customer connects, PACE also reduces telecom costs thus enabling an overall increase in end productivity. The module can deliver significant increase in the business results of an outbound campaign as compared to a Predictive Dialer alone.
PACE has already been beta tested at Total Soft Solutions. Elaborating the claim further Ashish Bhatia, Managing Director, Total Soft Solutions, says - "PACE has been tested successfully at our premises. We started with rudimentary configuration for the initial run and observed 19% enhancement in connect rates and over 9% reduction in telecom costs. These results were quite surprising for us and also made us more ambitious about the business benefits we can derive by configuring process specific intelligence to PACE."
By establishing a more intelligent contact strategy based on customer profiling parameters, contact centers not just connect better to their customers but also achieve significant reduction in nuisance calls to important customers. This in turn helps deliver a better customer experience.

Apna Paisa Presents Customized LAP Requirements
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, May 31, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Loan Against Property (LAP), also known as 'Home Equity Loans' is basically a loan against the security of one's property. This is designed to meet the financial needs of a person who already owns a house, which is free from any encumbrance. It is a loan given or disbursed against mortgage of the property.
These are secured personal loans, which can be used for any purpose except speculation. More often than not, the interest rates for commercial and residential property vary with the loan against commercial property being a little more expensive.
Apnapaisa.com offers the advantage of customizing the LAP requirements. On the vanilla interest rate page, one can choose his/ her requirements and receive a customized set of results. The respective interest rates applicable can be sorted. Since, eligibility criteria varies from bank to bank; Depending upon the value of the property as well as one's repayment capacity, apnapaisa site gives you the loan amount one would be eligible for on http://www.apnaloan.com/loan-against-property-india/eligibility-criteria.html
. Learn more and understanding the various charges to applicable as well as the charges to transfer or foreclose a loan at http://www.apnaloan.com/loan-against-property-india/index.html
. Ascertain the exact EMI required to be paid at http://www.apnaloan.com/loan-against-property-india/emi.html to understand your future cash flows.

It works out to be much cheaper than a personal loan, which is usually issued at interest rates in the range of 11.25 - 15.25%. This is generally on a daily or a monthly reducing balance method. The reason for the lower rate partly is because the lending entity has a security in the form of housing mortgage vis-à-vis personal loan which is without any security. The tenure of LAP is longer than that of personal loan.

The Graphology Research Institute Announces Free Graphology Seminars on 4th & 6th June 2010, to be Held at Andheri and Dadar Respectively
"Understand How an Individual's Handwriting Analysis Reflects their Occupation, Relationships, Personal Problems as Well as Health Related Issues"
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, May 31, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- The Graphology Research Institute (TGRI) announces the launch of "Handwriting Analysis"(English) seminar. The seminar is for free and has been scheduled for 4th June at Andheri and 6th June, Dadar. The core focus of this seminar will be on the importance of graphology to our everyday life.
Graphology is the study of how an individual's handwriting indicates their character attributes. This is based on the psychological concept of 'deviance'. The way we learn to write in school is standard. Every teacher in school teaches their students to write cursive in a uniform way. Why don't you continue to write the way you were taught? The fact that you don't is the reason graphology exists... Handwriting, also known as brain writing, is as individual to the person as fingerprints. Occupations, relationships, personal problems as well as health related issues can be identified in a person's handwriting.
Nowadays graphology is used in various sectors like career guidance, corporate analysis, recruitment, self evaluation, personality development. The primary mission of TGRI is to provide up-to-date contemporary Handwriting Analysis to fulfill the requirements of today's modern society and prepare our students for the future, in various fields mentioned above.
At TGRI we have devised weekday & weekend courses all over Mumbai; at Dadar, Andheri and Thane. The courses have been structured in such a way that the students are given theoretical as well as practical training of the subject.
About The Graphology Research Institute and its association with Corporates...
The Graphology Research Institute is headed by Mr. Vinit Bansode, a certified graphologist. Over subsequent years he has worked with companies, large and small, as well as for hundreds of individual people and celebrities. He is especially interested in the therapeutic applications and potential for graphology and, to this end, he has been involved in investigations into the diagnostic applications for graphology. He has also contributed articles on graphology-related subjects to periodicals and national newspapers, including the TOI, Mid-Day, Hindustan Times, DNA, Mumbai Mirror and has been also interviewed on television.
Vinit also conducts trainings for Corporates on Graphology, Creative visualisation, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Law of Attraction, Emotional Freedom technique (EFT), Leadership and Motivation. He has years of experience in conducting seminars and workshops for various corporate organizations.

BWI: Exposure to ‘Passive’ Tobacco Smoking from Parents During Childhood and Spouse During Adulthood Increases the Risk of Developing Asthma by 69%

Exposure to 'Passive' Tobacco Smoking from Parents During Childhood and Spouse During Adulthood Increases the Risk of Developing Asthma by 69%
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, May 31, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- On the occasion of World No Tobacco Day, doctors in the city highlighted that passive tobacco smoking at home is a significant risk factor for children in development of asthma as their lungs are still developing and they breathe faster than adults thereby inhaling more smoke. Of all asthma patients, 49% of them have a history of growing up with smoking parents and could have developed asthma due to the early exposure to tobacco smoke. Combined exposure to passive smoking from parents during childhood and further from spouse during adulthood increases the risk of developing asthma in a person by 69%.
Children who already have asthma, when exposed to passive tobacco smoking at home often experience worsening of their symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness and are also at an increased risk of getting an asthma attack. These children are therefore more likely to require emergency treatment which at times could include hospitalization. Also, it has now been well-established that the efficacy of asthma medicines is significantly reduced when the asthma patient has parents smoking at home.
Commenting on the effect of cigarette smoking on asthma kids, Dr. Sujeet K Rajan, Consultant Chest Physician, Bombay Hospital said, "Parents should realize that cigarette smoking not only causes irreversible damage to their own lungs, but could also result in the development of asthma in their kids who were not born with it. Even breathing in very small amounts of tobacco smoke could set off a severe attack in children with asthma and these attacks would be worse than those suffered by children with asthma who are not exposed to tobacco smoke. "
Dr Prashant Chajjad, Lung care and sleep centre, Fortis Hiranandani Hospital Vashi & Consultant Chest Physician Nanavati Hospital further added, "Children of mothers who smoked during pregnancy are more likely to have respiratory problems and have increased chances of developing asthma. Early exposure to tobacco smoke at home affects the growth of the lungs in a child and will develop respiratory ailments. We therefore request that as responsible parents one must quit smoking for the sake of the child."
In adults, cigarette smoking and asthma is associated with poor symptom control, reduction in response to asthma medication and an accelerated decline in lung function.
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder of the lungs in which there is inflammation (swelling) of the airways in our lungs. Due to this inflammation, the airways are narrowed and the lung becomes vulnerable to various allergens which act as triggers for an asthma attack. Cigarette Smoke is one of the major allergens which could trigger asthma.

The Polo Cup India 2010 will have six races in total with the 1st race being kicked off today at Shri Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Balewadi, Pune, the hometown of Volkswagen India. Races will take place each month upto December. The other five races will take place on the race courses in Chennai and Coimbatore.
-- 17/18 July 2010 at Coimbatore (Kari Motor Speedway)

-- 25/26 Sep 2010 at Chennai (Irungattukottai Race Track)
-- 27/28 Nov 2010 at Chennai (Irungattukottai Race Track)
-- 18/19 Dec 2010 at Chennai (Irungattukottai Race Track)
Over 1,100 motor sports enthusiasts from across the country registered to compete in the Polo Cup India 2010 and become a part of Indian motor sport history. After a strict selection process 20 young talents were chosen to form the starting grid in the first race in Pune. The selection process ran from the last week of March to mid of May. The aspiring racers were divided into 2 groups - first-timers and experienced racers, and were put through two rounds of selection. The young racers were narrowed down to 45 drivers through an adrenalin-pumping go-kart selection. The short listed drivers were then placed behind the wheel of the Race Polo cars, for the second round of selections held in Coimbatore, to earn their place in the final 20 candidates for the races.
The candidates were selected with the support of the expert selection team. The team of selectors consisted of one driver selector & coach from Germany Polo Cup, two Indian driver coaches (experienced drivers from Volkswagen & JK Tyre) and one FMSCI representative, including some of the doyens of Indian motor sports like Akbar Ebrahim, India's only principle instructor in racing, Farhan Vora, India's guest F1 steward and Rayomand Banajee, six times National Champion. They personally followed the international structures and conducted the coaching camps to select the best young talent.

About Volkswagen Motorsport
Volkswagen is committed to broad-scale motor sport as in internationally staged cross-country rally racing programmes in countries including Germany, Europe and the United States apart from other countries in Asia and has a long tradition of promoting young talent. Following the legendary Formula V as of 1966 the brand, in 1976, sponsored a one-make touring car cup for the first time. Among others, the Scirocco Cup produced drivers like the subsequent Formula 1 racer Manfred Winkelhock. In 1977 the first-generation Golf GTI replaced the Scirocco as the cup vehicle and remained the popular competition car for a generation of young racers up to 1982. In 1983, the second-generation Polo followed as the cup vehicle - initially using the 88-hp normally aspirated engine version and, from 1986, the 112-hp compressor engine. At the relaunch in 1998, Volkswagen presented the Lupo, which offered top-class sport at fair prices, as well as the Volkswagen New Beetle Cup.
The year of 1998 stands for an all-new concept in the world of racing. To this day, this new concept featuring centrally fielded vehicles and car swapping among the drivers guarantees maximum equality of opportunity. In 2004 the 150-hp Polo replaced the small Lupo as the cup vehicle and the concept was subjected to further refinement. The Polo Cup's success story is closely linked to the DTM-Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft. The premier league of touring car racing has evolved into a real crowd-puller and is envisaged as a concrete career goal by many junior racers.

Sailesh Bolisetti Wins Inaugural Race of Volkswagen-JK Tyre Polo Cup India 2010
Pune, Maharashtra, India, Monday, May 31, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Sailesh Bolisetti, the 22-year old driver from Vishakhapatnam, won the inaugural race of the Volkswagen-JK Tyre Polo Cup India 2010 on the street track in the Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune. The racer from Hyderabad led from start to finish as he created history by becoming the first winner of the Polo Cup today. He was followed home closely by Saran Vikram from Chennai and Karthik Shankar from Delhi.
Mohammed Fahad Kutty had finished in 3rd place but had then been given a 15 second penalty by the stewards for overtaking under yellow flags. It was a close finish as the top 6 were covered by less than 10 seconds at the chequered flag.
Sailesh had a great start and led from the start with Saran Vikram and Karthik Shankar behind him. Starting from 6th on the grid, Fahad Kutty (Mohammed) made a brilliant overtaking move to pass Shankar (Karthik) for 3rd position on lap 2. As he closed on second-placed Saran Vikram he clipped the tyre barrier into the first corner damaging his car in the process. He was unable to challenge Saran after that but did crossed the finish line in third place. He was later penalised for overtaking under yellow flags.
A delighted Sailesh commented, "This is a great day for me and I would like to thank Volkswagen for giving me this amazing opportunity. I made a good start and after that just had to make sure that I did not make any mistakes. It was quite a tough race as the cars behind me were really close together but am really satisfied with the result."
Prof Heizmann, Member of Board of Volkswagen AG, commented, "I would like to congratulate all the drivers for putting on a fantastic performance today. This is a proud day for motorsport in India and Volkswagen is really happy to be a part of it. We look forward to the rest of the season and am sure all the drivers will give it their best."
Second placed Saran Vikram,"I am really happy to race here on this circuit and am satisfied with the result. As overtaking is tough on this circuit I knew challening Sailesh would not be possible. I will now try to do my best for the second race."
Third placed karthik Shankar commented,"A big thank you to the organizers of this event for hosting such an amazing event. This is a historic day as not only is this only the second street race in India but also Volkswagen's big entry into motorsport in India. Fahad Kutty overtook me under yellow flags and I knew that it was illegal so did not fight back. Will now look forward to a good result in the second race."
Karthik Shankar from Hyderabad finished in 3rd position while Vishnu Prasad (Chennai), Sahil Shelar (Pune) and Fahad Kutty rounded off the top 6. The only woman driver on the grid Alisha Abdullah finished in an impressive 14th place in her debut race.
There were a host of dignitaries present for the inaugural race of the Volkswagen-JK Tyre Polo Cup in India. This included Mr. Suresh Kalmadi, President, IOA, Mr. Suresh Shetty, Minister of Sports for the state of Maharastra, Mr. Raghupati Singhania, VP & MD, JK Tyre and Industries, Prof. Jochem Heizmann, Member of Board of Volkswagen AG, Mr. Joerg Muller, Volkswagen Group Chief Representative India and Mr. Kris Nissen, Volkswagen Motorsport Director.
Another surprise was in store as Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan was invited to flag off the race, along with Prof. Heizmann and Mr. Kris Nissen. The Bollywood star was an instant hit with both the fans and media as she attended her first race.

Sailesh Bolisetti Wins Inaugural Race of Volkswagen-JK Tyre Polo Cup India 2010
Pune, Maharashtra, India, Monday, May 31, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Sailesh Bolisetti, the 22-year old driver from Vishakhapatnam, won the inaugural race of the Volkswagen-JK Tyre Polo Cup India 2010 on the street track in the Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune. The racer from Hyderabad led from start to finish as he created history by becoming the first winner of the Polo Cup today. He was followed home closely by Saran Vikram from Chennai and Karthik Shankar from Delhi.
Mohammed Fahad Kutty had finished in 3rd place but had then been given a 15 second penalty by the stewards for overtaking under yellow flags. It was a close finish as the top 6 were covered by less than 10 seconds at the chequered flag.
Sailesh had a great start and led from the start with Saran Vikram and Karthik Shankar behind him. Starting from 6th on the grid, Fahad Kutty (Mohammed) made a brilliant overtaking move to pass Shankar (Karthik) for 3rd position on lap 2. As he closed on second-placed Saran Vikram he clipped the tyre barrier into the first corner damaging his car in the process. He was unable to challenge Saran after that but did crossed the finish line in third place. He was later penalised for overtaking under yellow flags.
A delighted Sailesh commented, "This is a great day for me and I would like to thank Volkswagen for giving me this amazing opportunity. I made a good start and after that just had to make sure that I did not make any mistakes. It was quite a tough race as the cars behind me were really close together but am really satisfied with the result."
Prof Heizmann, Member of Board of Volkswagen AG, commented, "I would like to congratulate all the drivers for putting on a fantastic performance today. This is a proud day for motorsport in India and Volkswagen is really happy to be a part of it. We look forward to the rest of the season and am sure all the drivers will give it their best."
Second placed Saran Vikram,"I am really happy to race here on this circuit and am satisfied with the result. As overtaking is tough on this circuit I knew challening Sailesh would not be possible. I will now try to do my best for the second race."
Third placed karthik Shankar commented,"A big thank you to the organizers of this event for hosting such an amazing event. This is a historic day as not only is this only the second street race in India but also Volkswagen's big entry into motorsport in India. Fahad Kutty overtook me under yellow flags and I knew that it was illegal so did not fight back. Will now look forward to a good result in the second race."
Karthik Shankar from Hyderabad finished in 3rd position while Vishnu Prasad (Chennai), Sahil Shelar (Pune) and Fahad Kutty rounded off the top 6. The only woman driver on the grid Alisha Abdullah finished in an impressive 14th place in her debut race.
There were a host of dignitaries present for the inaugural race of the Volkswagen-JK Tyre Polo Cup in India. This included Mr. Suresh Kalmadi, President, IOA, Mr. Suresh Shetty, Minister of Sports for the state of Maharastra, Mr. Raghupati Singhania, VP & MD, JK Tyre and Industries, Prof. Jochem Heizmann, Member of Board of Volkswagen AG, Mr. Joerg Muller, Volkswagen Group Chief Representative India and Mr. Kris Nissen, Volkswagen Motorsport Director.
Another surprise was in store as Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan was invited to flag off the race, along with Prof. Heizmann and Mr. Kris Nissen. The Bollywood star was an instant hit with both the fans and media as she attended her first race.

About Volkswagen Motorsport
Volkswagen is committed to broad-scale motor sport as in internationally staged cross-country rally racing programmes in countries including Germany, Europe and the United States apart from other countries in Asia and has a long tradition of promoting young talent. Following the legendary Formula V as of 1966 the brand, in 1976, sponsored a one-make touring car cup for the first time. Among others, the Scirocco Cup produced drivers like the subsequent Formula 1 racer Manfred Winkelhock. In 1977 the first-generation Golf GTI replaced the Scirocco as the cup vehicle and remained the popular competition car for a generation of young racers up to 1982. In 1983, the second-generation Polo followed as the cup vehicle - initially using the 88-hp normally aspirated engine version and, from 1986, the 112-hp compressor engine. At the relaunch in 1998, Volkswagen presented the Lupo, which offered top-class sport at fair prices, as well as the Volkswagen New Beetle Cup.
The year of 1998 stands for an all-new concept in the world of racing. To this day, this new concept featuring centrally fielded vehicles and car swapping among the drivers guarantees maximum equality of opportunity. In 2004 the 150-hp Polo replaced the small Lupo as the cup vehicle and the concept was subjected to further refinement. The Polo Cup's success story is closely linked to the DTM-Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft. The premier league of touring car racing has evolved into a real crowd-puller and is envisaged as a concrete career goal by many junior racers.

LG's IPS Technology Makes Viewing a Pleasure with Stable Touch Panel
Knock & Feel.
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Friday, May 28, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- LG's IPS technology makes viewing a pleasure as consumers can now get a vivid and clear picture on their screens. In Plane Switching (IPS) technology - one of the world's leading LCD technologies - not only innovatively aligns liquid crystal technology to increase the viewing angle but also ensures vivid and clear moving images because of excellent Moving Picture Response Time (MPRT) performance and variation. The touch panel is also vastly stable as moving picture image sticking does not occur.
Developed in 1996, IPS was initially meant to improve on the poor viewing angle and the poor color reproduction of twisted nematic (TN) panels at that time. Its name comes from the main difference from the TN display, with the crystal molecules moving parallel to the panel plane instead of moving perpendicularly. This change reduces the amount of light scattering in the matrix, which gives IPS its characteristic wide-viewing angles and good color reproduction. The technology also reduces image distortion because of a fast and stable response time. It is pertinent to note here that the IPS panel gets it stable and accurate touching from its liquid crystal (LC) molecules' structure. The LC alignment in IPS mode is horizontal, an advantage for the LC does not move far from the original position even when touched, while the LC alignment in normal panels is vertical, therefore, easily scattered.
The IPS panel is hard. Its horizontal switch molecular arrangement does not change even on being knocked. When the IPS panel is pressed down, the original colours remain, with some change of brightness. Thus, comparing with the vertical arrangement made by the VA LCD technologies, the molecule reducibility of IPS technology is more powerful, and its panel is more stable and durable.
With a stable touch panel that the technology offers, IPS panels promise a truly world-class viewing experience. With no colour distortion from any angle because of no shift in gamma rays, IPS technology panels are least strenuous to human eyes.
IPS is also the main hardware of the iPads that have been launched recently. Apple endorses IPS technology for it is a premium display technology. IPS panels are preferred for their superior true color values, the most consistent image, a stable touch panel and a superior viewing angle as compared to other LCD technologies. A large, high-resolution LED-backlit IPS display and an incredibly responsive multi-touch screen, have made the Apple iPads popular amongst consumers. Apple prefers IPS technology as the panels have several advantages over conventional panels that use TN (twisted nemantic) and VA (vertical alignment) display technologies especially when it comes to stable touch panels.
IPS LCDs meet the requirements of the sectors and professionals in the fields of design, medicine, print and space, etc. Graphic designers, major medical equipment makers like GE Medical, Philips Medical National Display prefer IPS panels. In fact, not only the professional sector, the home electric appliance sector has also applied IPS LCD for the unique advantages. It is known that the reason for the professional favor of IPS LCDs is the advantages of dynamic definition, color reducibility, visible angles and most importantly the touch panel which is vastly stable because moving picture image sticking does not occur.
IPS LCD products have thus won unanimous favor of professionals. With a stable touch panel that the technology entails in contrast to other LCD technologies, IPS technology is definitely the first choice of consumers!
About IPS:
IPS (In Plane Switching) technology is one of the most leading LCD technologies in the world. IPS technology innovatively aligns liquid crystal horizontally to increase the viewing angle and changes the LCD transmittance. IPS is mainly owned by LG Display Company. This technology was unanimously accepted in its early phase by professionals from all across the globe.
IPS enabled LCD TV particularly deserves praise on its dynamic image expression in comparison to Normal LCD TV, because the IPS liquid crystal responds faster and expresses smoother moving images. While ensuring the image sharpness, IPS is more suitable to viewing dynamic images such as the Olympic Games and can entirely satisfy consumer needs for high definition images.
About LG Display:
LG Display Co., Ltd. (NYSE: LPL, KRX: 034220) is one of the world's top maker of TFT-LCDs with 24.7 percent global market share in the fourth quarter of 2008*.
